FEBRUARY 2025CIOAPPLICATIONSEUROPE.COM8mplementing a central cloud deployment platform offers numerous benefits, such as reducing deployment times and enabling teams to focus more on application development. Among these benefits is the ability to establish a standardized approach for deploying applications in a cloud environment, as this reduces the need for resources working on deployment code, reduces the need for teams to learn to write Infrastructure-As-Code (IaC), and importantly increases teams' ability to get their code into a cloud environment quickly. Below are three key reasons to do this.Three Reasons for Embracing a Central Cloud Deployment PlatformMaintain a Standard Deployment ApproachA central cloud deployment platform has many benefits. One of these is to create a standard way that the development/delivery team will deploy into a cloud environment. This means you get a standard approach for your deployments, so you get the ability to add custom and generic functions into the platform that can automatically take care of many tasks often overlooked. These include monitoring, alerting, and security. Other less obvious ones are linting, code vulnerability scanning, and finally testing (although this is specialized and would Tonino GrecoIN MYOPINIONIIMPLEMENTING A CENTRAL CLOUD DEPLOYMENT PLATFORMTonino Greco, Head of Cloud, Infrastructure, and Operations, River Island
